A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following work has been the outgrowth of wants experienced in repeated visits to Europe. The requirements of the American in Europe at the present day, are essentially different from those of twenty-five years since. The desirable routes, the localities to be visited, and the objects to be seen, are all comparatively well known. Railway and hotel officials, and, to a large extent, tradesmen and servants, have become so Anglicised as to have removed the principal impediments offered by a foreign tongue. That large portion of a Guide-B ook devoted to this desirable information is, therefore, no longer needed. At the same time, the American public has become aware that, to the intelligent visitor, the supreme attraction of the Old World, centres in its great Collections of Art a source equally of pleasure and culture which his own country cannot bestow. The want of the American is, therefore, less aa to routes, hotels, and cost, and more as to the A rts, Galleries, and Masterpieces. The question was, however, whether by the omission of what is unimportant, a fair summary of that which is so desirable, could be comprised within reasonable limits ;whether the fifteen full volumes of Murray, or the nine of Baedeker required between Edinburgh and Naples, could be reduced to one of companionable dimensions.
